Top 5 Towns in New Jersey to Buy an Airbnb in 2025

Looking to start or expand your short-term rental portfolio? New Jersey may not be the first state that comes to mind—but savvy investors know the Garden State is packed with Airbnb potential, especially in South Jersey.

From Shore towns to commuter-friendly suburbs, Santini Lancioni has helped clients identify top-performing Airbnb properties that offer strong returns, consistent bookings, and long-term appreciation. If you’re looking for cash flow and future growth, these five towns are worth your attention in 2025.

1. Atlantic City, NJ

🎰 Why it works: Year-round tourism, casino traffic, and convention visitors 🏡 What to look for: Multi-family homes, duplexes, or homes with separate entrances 💡 Insider tip: Proximity to the boardwalk boosts nightly rates. Licensing is required, so work with a local expert.

2. Ocean City, NJ

🏖️ Why it works: One of NJ’s most popular Shore towns for families and seasonal travelers 🏡 What to look for: Condos, beach blocks, and 2–3 BR homes 💡 Insider tip: Summer bookings fill fast. Off-season rentals can extend profitability if priced right.

3. Glassboro, NJ

🎓 Why it works: Home to Rowan University and seasonal demand from students, parents, and faculty 🏡 What to look for: Walkable homes near campus or downtown 💡 Insider tip: You can rent short-term during college breaks and football weekends, and long-term to students during the year.

4. Williamstown, NJ

🌳 Why it works: Affordable entry prices and proximity to wedding venues, wineries, and Shore routes 🏡 What to look for: Renovated ranchers, 3-bed homes with outdoor space 💡 Insider tip: Airbnb guests love peaceful getaways with backyard amenities—hot tubs, firepits, etc.

5. Lindenwold, NJ

🚉 Why it works: PATCO access to Philly + rising interest from budget-conscious travelers 🏡 What to look for: Homes near train stations or hospitals 💡 Insider tip: DSCR loans are perfect here—use projected Airbnb income instead of traditional W2 income to qualify.
